Nuuksio National Park — Attraction in Helsinki sub-region

Although the entire city of Helsinki is a beautiful place where nature is seamlessly integrated with modern development, the sea views surrounding the city are particularly mesmerizing. However, when you visit Nuuksio National Park, you experience a different kind of beauty—one that feels untouched, peaceful, and far removed from the noise and crowds of urban life.

At Nuuksio, you are embraced by true wilderness. Towering trees stretch toward the sky, tranquil lakes reflect the changing light, and the soothing sound of birdsong fills the air. The deep blue waters of the lakes may seem mysterious and even a little intimidating at first glance, but as your eyes follow the shoreline—lined with gentle stone hills and graceful pine trees—you begin to feel a deep sense of calm and connection. It is in these quiet, natural surroundings that you truly fall in love...

It's hard to imagine such a beautiful and peaceful park can be so close to a major capital city. Truly a gem of Finland to have such great nature accessible so close to Helsinki. Good place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle. Famous for flying squirrels, although I've been more than 6 times and never seen one so they must be rare.

Amenities include fire pits (firewood included!) and rustic camping spots.

This beautiful national park of Finland is a heaven for the campers and adventure enthusiasts. You get a bus 245 from Espoo Central and get down at Haltia.

There is restaurant, gallery and panorama view tower here. There are couple of tents where barbeque provision is made for enjoying the food.

The long Nuuksio lake that you can see while coming by bus is serene, calm and tranquil, where you can take dip, swim and spend time around. There is not a lot of space available near the lake for picnic or family fun during peak time. However there is a lot of other space in the park where you can chill.

Also there is reindeer park around 1km from here, only few deers and not very crowded and not entry ticket. A lot of recreational things and adventures can be done here. You can do night camping...
